I.e. the difference between "Yeah, we know" (in both positive and negative directions) and "Oh fuck, we didn't know voting for the face-eating leopards meant our faces could be eaten"
The reason they go the fascist route is BECAUSE they are incompetent. Successful people go be successful; they don't have to force others to pretend that they are. The only reason it works is that humans are too pro-social to stop this nonsense, because doing so creates more immediate and obvious conflict than letting the bullies have their way.Germany 1920-1945 didn't happen because of competence. It happened because it was socially easier than not letting it happen.
"Hot woman that was SA'd wasn't actually SA'd, she was just slutty, or so I imagine" - The majority of this kind of shit
No, but 336k over 25 years (instead of the 12 offered here) is a pretty damn close to the median house price outside of major cities in the US, especially outside the coastal states.
Indeed. This is unfortunately very much the Jobs/Wozniak conversation about Wozniak's Nixie Watch. "Hey, this is neat!" "Yep... no one gives a shit".
Yes, strong girl farm, but strong girl also bank, strong girl make craft beer, strong girl program UI for heavy machinery; strong girl do whatever strong girl want, because who would stop strong girl? Who... COULD stop strong girl?
Their Wormtongue-like coattail riders have an interest in keeping their bosses alive despite the fact that those measures are actually based in reality and not the mythology they are promoting. See also: Trump, Donald. You can bet your ass they all got vaccinated at some point and they literally just never told them (or, just as likely, they honestly forgot because of their brains rotting).
Such extremes as to write 10 whole sentences wondering why someone else is so bothered by something relatively minor in the grand scheme?Maybe you're so lazy as to consider such "effort" extreme. For Bison, it was a Tuesday.
1. Fair. But it seems to presume that by simply being a public figure that the man owes not only an apology to that vegan, but to *you*. 2. Fair, but your previous comments compelled me to point out that the primary effect of your outrage is solely your own raised blood pressure, even if it would be justified for a short time 20 years ago. 3. So, you're saying a person became better merely due to outside social pressures, not for moral reasons, but still changed? Isn't the *change* the point?
1. Ok. But it seems you also don't respect people's potential for change, i.e. using their own autonomy to become better. 2. Why does *your* forgiveness matter in a situation between two other people? I'll tell you how: your own mental health; giving one maintains the other. 3. We also don't have any reason to believe he doesn't genuinely regret those actions, other than the fact that he does now behave differently about veganism: he has a whole section of vegan recipes on his website.
I'm bout to hit a very specific audience right in the feels. But as the lady says, "Thou Must Live, Die, and Know"
But you didn't show it was more than once. Both articles describe the same event from literally 20 years ago.I'm not excusing it. But if you're holding onto bitterness over a non-illegal asshole event someone you don't even know perpetrated against someone else you do not know, and that event was a length of time ago that's almost old enough to drink? Then I dunno about Gordon Ramsay, but I do see *one* person who has decided not to change over the past twenty years. Is *that* healthy?
Was pleasantly surprised that my city's reddit is half food and service recs and half "news story about new building or investment that's going to royally f up traffic for the next few months: COME COMPLAIN HERE".
Lots of people use the language of liberty to gaslight folks into forgiving their crimes. No one is mad at Trump because he says he wants to protect the border, or make America great: they're mad because that's not what he's even remotely doing, and only stupid or cruel people argue otherwise. So if you get downvotes for your Stalin quote, it's not because people can't handle a broken clock being right twice a day. Speeches like this were/are used to pretend atrocities weren't atrocities.
On the other hand, filling his email with trash will be a nightmare for those who are trying to get and fulfill FOIA requests.
He "stepped in" his wife saying she thought a director she worked with was sleazy, and a lot of men take the gigantic counterattack the director's PR firm has created at face value, because they need to be angry at stories of women hurting the tender fee fees of sad pathetic men so they can feel good about their mediocre personalities.
I love how Musk's poll fails even when he owns the platform and has been systematically blocking and banning detractors. There is no evading this: either he's open to free speech and the people said no, or he's not and he's STILL a loser.
Which one's which?
If you focus on not being blamed (or having such a complex about it you really get into semantics about making sure responsibility isn't called "blame"), you usually end up thinking it's someone else's problem. Again, see: history, world.
It's not "sins of the father", it's that if we keep kicking this can down the road long enough, our children will get the opportunity to say "not my fault" to taking responsibility and fixing problems too. And I don't want them to get that opportunity. Either we're interested in fixing problems or we're not. If it requires blame, suck it up. Why should we care? What damage does it cause?
Even directly after the Civil War, we were far more interested in being angry at even being asked to ask for forgiveness for slavery and skipping directly to the forget part. We've been saying "but that was a long time ago, it wasn't me" literally since April 10th 1865. Fixing mistakes requires taking responsibility. And we have been so insecure about even admitting the existence of our mistakes that we never do either. I will not pass that cowardice onto our posterity the way our ancestors did.
Also, while this doesn't include you, I will rebut this point: let's count the f's we should give for the fragility of so-called conservatives who supposedly get to blame *me* for their own racism simply because I say that it existsandwe'redone.
IMO, you can't take on the identity of "American" and not take responsibility for all that America has meant and still means. You don't get to cherry pick your history or your present. And if you cannot bear to say "Man, we used to suck" and actually own that feeling, that "we"? Then at the very least you are not actually invested in the US as a people. Just a collection of hypervigilant neurotics hoping a mfer would. Which, tbf, is very, very American ideal. I just don't happen to cotton to it.
And I'm pretty sure my family probably has Confederate, Nazi, and colonial-oppressors-of-Natives blood in my family. The *difference* is that I have the strength to be ashamed of that instead of the insecurity to presume I must carry all my family's dumbass ideologies with me just because. That's right: proper historical shame and taking accountability (such as is actually required, which ain't much) requires strength of character.
For those who don't know the logic: the LAFD has a lesbian fire chief....That's ...That's it. That's the logic.
I live in GA. I listened to the call. Guess what. The system worked, because his phone call didn't work. Putin is bad. No doubt. But he did not co-opt 100k different electoral policies across 50 states. A supervillain is easier to believe in than the lack of civil and empathetic education in millions, because it's easier to throw up your hands and do nothing about it instead of actually trying to convince a Republican what government actually is. I prefer real hard problems to fake easy ones.
If you think that he made up or stole 2 million votes in the only election you can't gerrymander, you're as big an idiot as the January 6ers. Deal with America as it exists, not the one you'd prefer it be. That's how you *make* it the one you'd prefer it be.
More for you!
Unpacked Publix spicy Italian sausage is da bomb for Italian ragu (well, at least us unwashed workaday Americans making Italian ragu). As for the beef, yeah, I'd just add more sausage or short rib.
